Signs of tuberculosis or pneumonia

June 17 / 2026

 

          A chronic cough doesn't necessarily mean a cold. It could be a sign of tuberculosis or pneumonia, which have similar but distinct symptoms.

  • Tuberculosis : Chronic cough, night sweats, weight loss.
  • Pneumonia : High fever, chills, chest pain, and shortness of breath.

If you experience any unusual symptoms, see a doctor immediately for a chest x-ray and confirmation.

The sooner you know, the faster treatment can be provided and the more likely you are to spread the infection.
